Money does grow on trees. When a home- 
owner moves into a new home he will 
find, over a period of years, that his home, 
furnishings, and car all depreciate in value 
as time goes by. However, his trees and 
shrubs INCREASE in value. Then, too, 
good planting and landscaping are so im- 
portant that they can not be measured 
solely in dollars and cents.

A survey of real estate operators averaged 
the increased valuation over the unland- 
scaped place as 12.9%. This means that 
in addition to a keen enjoyment of beauty 
in a well-landscaped home, your property 
increases 12.9% in value.
